The Disputed Territories of Zoosterland is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.455 billion Zoosterlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.9%.

The Zoosterlandian economy, worth 339 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 32,498 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zoosterland's national animal is the Black Widow.

Zoosterland is ranked 133,581^st in the world and 316^th in HC Metalurg for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 25.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
